He had been turning the spit for the cook, and she had given him permission to stand behind the door and peep in at the well-dressed children, who were having such a merry time within; and for him that was a great deal.

그는 요리사를 위해 꼬챙이를 돌리고 있었는데, 요리사는 그에게 문 뒤에 서서 안에서 즐거운 시간을 보내고 있는 잘 차려입은 아이들을 들여다볼 수 있는 허락을 해주었다. 그에게 있어 그것은 대단한 일이었다.

His parents at home had not even a penny to spare to buy a newspaper, much less could they write in one; and worse than all, his father's name, and of course his own, ended in "sen," and therefore he could never turn out well, which was a very sad thought.

집에 있는 그의 부모는 신문을 살 돈조차 한 푼도 없었으니, 신문에 글을 싣는다는 것은 더더욱 불가능한 일이었다. 그보다 더 나쁜 것은, 그의 아버지의 이름, 그리고 물론 그 자신의 이름도 "센"으로 끝났기 때문에 결코 잘 될 수 없다는 것이었는데, 그것은 매우 슬픈 생각이었다.

But after all, he had been born into the world, and the station of life had been chosen for him, therefore he must be content.

하지만 어쨌든 그는 이 세상에 태어났고, 삶의 자리는 그를 위해 정해진 것이었으므로, 그는 만족해야만 했다.

And this is what happened on that evening.

그리고 그날 저녁에는 이런 일이 있었다.

Many years passed, and most of the children became grown-up persons.

여러 해가 지나고, 아이들 중 대부분은 어른이 되었다.

There stood a splendid house in the town, filled with all kinds of beautiful and valuable objects.

마을에는 온갖 아름답고 귀한 물건들로 가득 찬 훌륭한 집 한 채가 서 있었다.

Everybody wished to see it, and people even came in from the country round to be permitted to view the treasures it contained.

모든 사람들이 그것을 보고 싶어 했으며, 사람들은 그 안에 담긴 보물들을 구경하기 위해 주변 시골에서까지 찾아왔다.

Which of the children whose prattle we have described, could call this house his own?

우리가 묘사한 아이들 중 누가 이 집을 자신의 것이라 부를 수 있을까?

One would suppose it very easy to guess.

쉽게 짐작할 수 있을 것이라 생각할 수도 있다.

No, no; it is not so very easy.

아니, 아니다. 그것은 그리 쉬운 일이 아니다.
